New year, new coach, new players, same story.
Louisville scored just 15 second half points and squandered a 10-point halftime lead in a 64-52 loss to No. 3 Virginia Saturday afternoon at the KFC Yum Center. The loss was U of L’s eighth straight to the Cavaliers.
The Cardinals built hope in the first half that maybe the Chris Mack era of this series might be kinder to the guys in red and black. Led by Ryan McMahon’s four triples, U of L buried 10-of-16 three-pointers, their most treys in a single half this season. The run of hot shooting was capped by a banked in 30-footer from Jordan Nwora just before the halftime horn.
